Jay Huguely (September 21, 1940 – December 13, 2008〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/latimes/obituary.aspx?n=james-wesley-huguely&pid=126585591〕 in Valencia, California) was a stage actor, advertising executive and television writer/executive who enjoyed a brief run of popularity as a novelty recording artist in the 1970s.〔Roland, Tom, "The Billboard Book of Number One Country Hits" (Billboard Books, Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 1991 (ISBN 0-82-307553-2)), p. 161〕 Recording as Cledus Maggard & the Citizen's Band, Huguely - working at the time for Leslie Advertising in Greenville, South Carolina〔 - enjoyed his one and only hit in 1976 with "The White Knight." Released during the wave of popularity of the citizens' band radio, the song is about a semitrailer truck driver victimized by a Georgia highway patrolman's speed trap. He chose the name "Cledus" after his mother's name Cleta. "The White Knight" reached No. 1 on the ''Billboard magazine'' Hot Country Singles chart in February 1976, and was his only hit to reach that chart's Top 40.〔Whitburn, Joel, "Top Country Songs: 1944-2005," 2006〕 Following the success of this record, Huguely most notably was a producer on the 1980s television series "Magnum, P.I." In the 1990s, he was a writer and producer, known for Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), Street Justice (1991) and Bandit: Bandit's Silver Angel (1994). ==Discography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cledus Maggard & the Citizen's Band」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
